Statistical Methods: A Worktext Approach

About this book

Statistical Methods: A Worktext Approach uses a student-friendly conversational tone to explain core statistical concepts in a way that students can readily understand. After concepts and skills are introduced and demonstrated students are given a hands-on opportunity to work with the concepts and practice their newly acquired skills with Your Turn exercises. Each chapter begins with a careful explanation of the statistical concepts relevant to that chapter. Following the explanation of concepts are examples that illustrate their applications. Boxes containing helpful pointers for students are included in the chapters. These are often mnemonics for remembering concepts and precautions warning against common mistakes. Statistical terms are in boldfaced type and italicized. They are defined in the text and also appear in the glossary in Appendix A. An extensive instructors guide provides answers to the exercises.
